seven.2) Information about modifications
seven.2.1) Description of the modifications
Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):
To extend the contract period from 1st June 2022 – March 2023 (10 months).
seven.2.2) Reasons for modification
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee.
Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances:
The need for this modification was unforeseen as the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in training not to be able to be delivered for the 9 month period (March 2020-Decemner 2020) due to government restrictions. This modification is to extend the time period for a 10 month period only. The original contract was awarded for 39 months and therefore the additional 10 months is well within the 50% permissible within the regulation. The modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract in any way.
seven.2.3) Increase in price
Updated total contract value before the modifications (taking into account possible earlier contract modifications, price adaptions and average inflation)
Value excluding VAT: £470,000
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: £470,000
